Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 small white onions, sliced into 1/4 inch thin rounds
  • 7 oz shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Paprika, to taste

For Serving

  • Lazy Tzatziki (optional, for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400℉ (204℃) and line a 12×17 inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the cheese base: Evenly sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese across the lined baking sheet, creating a thin and uniform layer as the foundation for the onion chips.
  3. Arrange the onion slices: Place the 1/4 inch onion rings onto the cheese layer, making sure they are positioned right next to each other without overlapping, ensuring even baking and crispiness.
  4. Add oil and seasoning: Brush the tops of the onion rings lightly with olive oil. Then season them evenly with salt, garlic powder, and paprika to enhance flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 18 minutes, or until the cheese and onion rings turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool for 5-10 minutes, which helps them firm up for better texture. Break into clusters and serve alongside Lazy Tzatziki dip if desired.

Notes

  • Use white onions for a milder, sweeter flavor; red onions can be used but may alter the taste slightly.
  • Ensure onion slices are uniform in thickness for even baking.
  • Brush olive oil sparingly to avoid sogginess but still help seasoning adhere and improve crispness.
  • Customize seasoning by adding chili powder or cayenne for a spicy kick.
  • These chips are best eaten the same day for optimal crispiness.
  • Lazy Tzatziki dip enhances the flavor, but these chips can be enjoyed on their own.
